The prisoners needed the proper facilities in order to prepare their cases and request appearances before the judge. Issue(s); Is it the state's responsibility to provide law libraries and/or legal assistance to prisoners to prepare their cases? Is this a Federal Constitutional issue and/or a state issue?
Over the past three centuries, the societal viewpoints have established a lot. Before the 19th century, the handling of mental illness remained not given much consideration. Mental illness was not even well-thought-out as a medical difficulty. Defining insanity was the responsibility of officials like church, wardens, and governor’s officials and not of medical professional. In this society today, mental illness is taken seriously.
At the time (1943) the majority of doctors believed that the medical services were inadequate and badly co ordinated (this was a reality and had no bearing on the doctors opinions on weather to privatize or nationalise the NHS). There were three main services at the time. The Public Health Service, Consultants and Specialists that were situated inside and outside of hospitals. In 1943 the health service was mostly private and the system was unequal and fragmented. If the system continued to stay privatized we would have different people in different areas becoming their own little branches dotted around the
RTT1 Task 2 Jake McKee Western Governors University RTT1 Task 2 Root Cause Analysis (RCA) that led to sentinel event Root cause in this scenario appears to be a combination of things. Most significantly, staff did not safely adjust to rapidly increasing demands of their patient acuity and census. The infrastructure did not allow simultaneous monitoring of two patients in crisis. The department is at high risk of inundation, being staffed with only one RN and one LPN, one secretary, and one emergency department physician. Secondly, balance in the monitoring of high-risk patients was inadequate.
This creates unnecessary high cost for the hospital. The emergency department becomes over crowded with non-paying patients leaving no space for patients with private insurance. Majority of ED visits from the uninsured could be better served by a primary provider the problem is the uninsured does not have the means to receive such service from primary physicians. One solution is to create a case management program that focuses on serving individuals with a history of using the Emergency Department for non-emergent issue. The program would use case managers and a database tracking system to enhance patient access to regular healthcare services, connect patients to regular healthcare services and help combat logistical interference in getting the right care.
They id not respond appropriately to allegations of abuse. They had not responded to or considered complaints and views of people about the service. Investigations into the conduct of staff were not robust enough and had not safeguarded the residents. The report said that it was now clear that the problems at Winterbourne View were far worse than initially indicated by the whistle-blower and that the provider had effectively misled the Q.C.Q by not keeping them informed about incidents as required by
She relayed to me that she was fed up with healthcare in this country and did not understand how she could work hard her whole life and be treated like less than because she had an “HMO”. She too, like me and others, seem to be failed by our medical system currently in place. Sue complains that her HMO is awful and they have withheld care on more than one occasion. She goes on to explain that an HMO insurance only allows you to see certain doctors. The doctors she needs to see, she goes on to say, are not available to her as they do not participate with her insurance, Aetna.

With the prison population on the rise this task has become harder than ever. What are prisoner’s ethical rights and furthermore; what are the ethical responsibilities of prison officials? Although prisoners have lost certain rights associated with freedom, they still maintain the right to safe and humane conditions while incarcerated. This means they have a right to their safety, decent food, clothing, housing and medical care. Prison officials on the other hand, have the responsibility of either staffing or having on call doctors, practitioners and psychiatrist, who can address and properly attend to the medical needs of treatment of those on individuals confined within the prison system.
